EXPORT FKOM THE STATE. (il 
Among game birds the most general prohibition is that against the 
ex|)ort of quail, which is now in force in every State and Territory with 
six exceptions. Among the excepted States are Montana. North Dakota, 
and Wyoming, in which (juail are scarce, and in ^lontuna the sale and 
in North Dakota the killing of these birds are at present unlawful. 
Nearly every State in which prairie chickens occur now has a non- 
export law. The effect of this law. combined with the sale restrictions, 
as already stated, is to make the sale of praiiie chickens illegal outside 
of their normal range. 
Special attention is called to the following table, which contains a list 
of the game prohibited from export by each State:
